Yep. And Mike's was one of those that it really could have been in any Fantasy setting. No heralds, companions or bards or Valdemar for that matter. Don't get me wrong, it was a good story and I really liked what he did in it but it just didn't say Valdemar unless you want to go with the idea of a noble mercenary company but I think other writers have done that as well.
